It's been a while since I've added to this thread, so here's a few pics from last fall at Pirates of Lanier Poker Run.

Well we had a great time at Lanier, until someone tried to get in a slip beside us and took about a 1/2 dollar size of paint off the boat in the silver below the 2 stripes.. Well just my luck that it was in the silver and it's almost imposible to blend that in without it showing. After some thought about what to do we came up with the idea of adding another stripe with a torn look on the bottom of it, except this on has a darker silver ghost fade to black and then back a ghost silver fade. This turned out great and I actually think it looks way better with the 3 stripes than it did with just the 2 stripes. Im open for opinions on it, as well.

I got bored last night and was in the shop looking at the trailer thinking about trying get it looking new again. Well it's pretty amazing what some 0000 steel wool and aluminum polish will do, especially since I only spent about 30 minutes or so on the amount I went over. I suppose I 'll finish it up this week and probaly go ahead and put the new DOT tape on, as well as order some new LED lights for it. I have been toying with the idea of powder coating the fenders black also, since i have the original 5 star wheels freshly powder coated gloss black.

I finally had time to remove all the decals, DOT tape, fenders, bow stop and winch stand. After many hours rubbing by hand with ultra fine scotch brite and aluminum polish the Myco is looking good again. Myco sent all new decals, as well as new brackets for an upcoming electric jack swap in a few days. Luckily I had some new DOT tape on hand. I had the bow stop, winch stand and fenders along withe the fender brackets powder coated gloss black. Also added all new clear 2 1/2" and 6" led lights along with 8 total 3/4" clear led lights on each side.. Here's a few pics of what I have finished so far. The bow stop and winch stand are just sitting there to get an idea of the finished look. More pics to come in a few days once the fenders and new wheels are on. Alao still waiting on the SCX DD lowers to come back from blue printing @ Wilson Custom Marine next week.

Finally got the trailer fenders and inner fenders i had made back on, as well as the fresh powder coated wheels and tires are on and torqued down. I took a chance with a picture i had thought of on accenting a few pieces black. Now seeing the final outcome, I'm really liking it especially since it's different than all the other Myco trailers out there. Castaway Customs cut me some black over grey Sea Dek for the trailer steps in front and behind the fenders, and on top on the fenders with the Active Thunder logo on the top piece. I also had them make a piece to act as a rock guard on the bow facing side of the fenders. Those pieces will be arriving today and getting installed tonight. Here's a pic with everything but the Sea Dek installed. Next stop is to Eddie Young's shop to get the Wilson Custom Marine blueprinted SCX Dual Downshaft lowers mounted on and then water test early next week.

Looks great! The extra stripe was a great add on for hiding damage, works great. The trailer came out great too! Surprised you didn't throw a buffer wheel on and make it a mirror!

I saw Remedy at the Lake Lanier run last September, beautiful boat! The upgrades you’ve done since look great too. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much.. I'm afraid if I had used a buffing wheel for a mirror shine on the trailer, my OCD would have been off the charts trying to keep it clean!!! lol
